You see that's what I want to avoid. My kids adore my husband and since their own dad died, I have no doubt that should they have children, DH will be Poppy-Paul.
I figure if I give myself a name that isn't too "grandmotherly" like gramma or nana I might be OK. This little girl will have 6 grandparents and a great grandfather and great grandmother and a step-great grandfather. She won't miss out on much but I sure will.
